I'm not bashing specifically Biden for anything.  I'm flatty stating that wanting cheap gas and fewer greenhouse gases is moronic.  Expensive (or at least non-cheap) gasoline is an excellent way to create fewer greenhouse gases, and does it the world over.  It makes electric vehicles a viable alternative way faster than any CAFE standard could.  It makes people use less gasoline.  It makes people purchase more efficient vehicles.  These are good things.

It is worth noting that while what you say is true, demand for gasoline is very inelastic and high gas prices just means more people pissed off, especially in the short term

Wait, what? I've always thought that higher fuel prices is the most effective way to reduce... well... eh...  fossil fuel consumption.

Democrats are going to win big next year on the message that Biden lowered your gas prices by 1.5 cents a gallon a year ago.

HEY! It's two full cents.  I can't wait for the "but if trends continue" takes.
